Chapter 257: Pre-War Arrangements
In the first year of Jianwen, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, so he decided to cut the feudal domain, regardless of the bones of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, and in a very short period of time, he cut Zhou King Zhu Hu and several Wang uncles such as King Xiang, King Qi, King Dai, and King Min. The princes who were stripped of their titles were all deeply humiliated, and among them, the king of Xiang committed suicide because he did not want to be humiliated by the prison officials.
At this time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan stationed in Beiping, is undoubtedly Zhu Yunwen's biggest thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh. At that time, in Zhu Di's hands, the soldiers and horses who could absolutely obey his own orders were actually only 800 Yan Wang personal guards. And Zhu Yunwen sits on the orthodoxy of the world, how many million troops can be mobilized?
There is such a huge gap between the enemy and me, but Zhu Di can still make up his mind to send troops to Jingjing, starting from a mere 800 people, to defeating Zhu Yunwen and really becoming the co-master of the world. At the beginning of Jing Nan, his mentality of "going out to gamble" was just like what he said about Zhang Li.
"I also agree with what the fourth brother said, Zhang Li will definitely find a way to capture the city." Putting away his inner thoughts, Zhu Su got up and said.
Although Zhang Ren and Chen Hui failed, since they chose to attack on Chinese New Year's Eve, they must be sure that Zhang Li will come soon. And Ma Fengsun also used this as a bargaining chip to persuade Shen Hai ......"
"Wait...... Your Highness, Your Highness? Below, the commander sitting opposite Wei Guan made Yang Lu suddenly stand up. You just said, what's wrong with Ma Fengsun? ”
"Huh?" Halfway through his words, Zhu Su was a little unhappy. But after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned. "Oh, the king forgot to explain it to you."
"Ma Fengsun, a salt merchant in this mansion, is actually one of Zhang Chen's remnants. He was the one who led the crowd in attacking the reserve warehouse last night...... Why, Commander Yang knows him? As he spoke, he looked at Yang Lu.
"No, I don't know." Yang Lu shook his head, and for some reason his face turned a little pale: "It's just that this person relies on a distant relative who can't fight with some eight poles, and he always takes the opportunity to look for and walk around on weekdays." ”
"I was annoyed for a long time, and I didn't want this person to be a thief...... Your Highness continues, continues to ......"
"That's it," Zhu Su glanced at Yang Lu with some suspicion. However, he couldn't find a flaw in what he said, so he put aside his suspicions and continued: "Judging from the time of Zhang Ren's action and what Ma Fengsun said to Shen Hai, Zhang Li must have set off at this time. ”
"There is no turning back from the bow, since they have already come, then even if there is no one to cooperate with the outside world, as my fourth brother said, they must try to take a city."
The crowd was silent. The prefect Wei Guan said: "At this time, if the wall is clear, I am afraid that it will be too late, so I will quickly summon the Taicang guard to defend my Suzhou, in case of ......contingencies."
"Not really." Zhu Su shook his head. "What Ru Yushi just said, but it is reasonable."
"Those pirates came from the sea, but they could not carry the siege equipment. No matter how capable those thieves are, they can't break through the walls with their heads. ”
"Let's let the Taicang guards continue to be stationed in Taicang. With them acting outside, they can also contain these thieves: what if they can't defeat my Suzhou Mansion, they will go to Changzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion? ”
"As for my Suzhou Mansion, there are more than 10,000 people in the Suzhou Health Center, which is enough to be used! You say yes, Commander Yang? As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Lu.
"Huh? Oh, yes, what Your Highness said is true! Yang Lu seemed to be thinking about something, and only then came back to his senses when he heard the words.
Zhu Su was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued: "Now that the discussion has been decided, let you prepare for it. ”
"The enemy will come soon, and this is the time for us to unite as one."
"Governor Wei, you will arrange the affairs of the preparation of the Japanese, although eighty percent of the enemy is coming to Suzhou, but it is difficult to keep the rabble to see the needles and plunder the surrounding counties. You immediately send people to inform Wu County, Kunshan and other places, and ask the county commanders to quickly gather the people in the surrounding villages to enter the city. ”
"With the county city wall as a backing, the people can also be a little more stable."
"Okay, the old minister will go." Wei Guan's head answered.
"Ru Yushi, there is also something that bothers you." Zhu Su continued. "In order to prevent thieves from wandering through the surrounding provinces, I also ask you to write everywhere, so that they can take precautions, and don't be caught off guard by thieves going down the waterway."
"In addition, so that they don't have to send troops to save Suzhou, this king will go to Wenjingzhong and let his father transfer the surrounding guards to help."
"That's right." Ru Taisu also nodded with a beard.
Next, Zhu Su did everything in detail, and arranged the affairs of the preparation of the widow one by one. Almost everyone present received the work in their hands, and went to work one by one. The entire Suzhou Mansion, centered on Zhu Su, the prince who patrolled the hunt on behalf of the sky, was rapidly operational. By the time Zhu Su's arrangements were completed, the people in the hall had almost left.
Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Su and said with envy: "Old Five, you are really majestic!" You are young, how can your father rest assured that you are in such power...... That's how it should be! ”
Zhu Su just smiled. He would rather not be in this power. But if he doesn't come forward, Ru Taisu and Wei Guan don't agree on it, and they don't know when they will fight. At this time, don't you twist into a rope, and when the time comes, you will also be slaughtered by others along with the people in the city?
And with great authority comes great responsibility...... Just the life and death of the people in this mansion, Zhu Su felt a little overwhelmed...... Just now, when he was preparing for the preparation of the Watiao Chen, he was very worried that he would be caught by the thieves because of his improper thinking.
"Speaking of the old five, these ideas you formulated are just for the purpose of defending the city...... Zhu Di thought for a while, "Don't you take the initiative to attack?" ”
"Abandon the benefits of the fortified city and go out of the city to fight, that is a reckless man." Zhu Su said speechlessly. "If Zhang Renyu is still in the city and worried that they will take advantage of the situation to make trouble, maybe I will consider the option of going out of the city to meet the enemy."
"But now that those remnants are dead, as long as the city doesn't mess up and defends the city well, this time it will be an ironclad victory."
"Why take that risk."
"That's it......" Zhu Di was a little unsatisfied. He licked the corners of his mouth and said regretfully: "I thought that this time I would have the opportunity to lead the army to fight." ”
"If you can really get over the addiction of fighting on the battlefield, and when you go back, you will be beaten by your father, then it will be worth it."
"It's just that if you defend the city, it's not enjoyable...... Old Five, don't you really think about going out of the city? ”
"If the enemy is defeated, it is better for you and my three brothers to take an army out of the city to pursue ......" Zhu Laosi's eyes were bright and compelling, flashing with a light called "excitement".
"Don't think about it!" Zhu Su gave him a big roll of his eyes. No matter how high the command value of the Yongle Emperor is in the future, no matter how famous he is, Zhu Di at this time is just a teenager who doesn't understand fart.
What's more, the opponent in this battle is just a "thief", with the identity of the three of them, if they bump into each other here, I'm afraid that for Lao Zhu, this battle will be regarded as a loss if he wins.
"Whether you want to go out of the city or not, it depends on the gift, whether you give us this opportunity......"
"But if you really want to go out of the city, then it will definitely not be your turn to be the fourth brother!"
